Spurs – B+
Vic didn’t fuck up 1.1, which is a huge accomplishment. Spriggs could be a useful player, but the Report doesn’t like him very much. All in all, a solid B+

We don’t understand how RW justifies passing on Aguirre or Tobi here given that his team is nowhere near competitive and a point guard is the last thing a tanking team needs. That said, no way the former Hoosier gets anything less than an A grade, even if the Report shows our displeasure with our first ever A--.

Aguirre drops into dumps lap. Hopefully RW’s incessant whinging didn’t hurt Aguirre’s starting attributes. Even if it did, dump has a slew of good picks here with potential to turn into starters on his barren roster.

Lakers – A-
Tobi could resurrect a dead Lakers franchise, but the Report believes Woolridge will prove to be the gem of this draft class. The rest of the class isn’t shabby either for a tanker. One of those bigs other than Tobi is bound to hit.

It has been a while since Dil picked this high in the draft and he’s not lost his touch. Ainge has the scoring grades that suggest he will be an elite scoring guard, emphasis on scoring. With a little TC help in the defensive attributes, Ainge could be well on his way to being a top wing in sim league.
1.5. – (11) Danny Ainge SG 6'4'' 175 22 B B- C+ C+ C- B
Jazz – B+
I feel like there is a bit of grade inflation at this point, but I’ve been impressed with each GM’s haul so far. Nance was a Report favorite coming into the draft and we’re not backing away from our love of Larry.
1.6. – (12) Larry Nance PF 6'10'' 215 22 B+ C- C- B C+ A

Thunder - A
GBG didn’t get the best players in the draft, but for where he picked them, he’s gotten the best value so far. Frank Johnson could very well be the best PG in the draft and despite his poor Report grade, Petur Gudmundsson has one hell of a name. That has got to count for something.
1.7. - (12) Buck Williams PF 6'8'' 215 21 A- C- C- C+ B B

Speaking of GMs with an affinity for great names, yawn goes all-American this draft with Herb Willians and Eddie Johnson and the results do not disappoint. Williams and Bagels will make a fantastic front court in Seattle, which may give the 18 year old Shaw time to develop.

Odin addresses a desperate need here by selecting a couple of good looking wing players. Blackman is the poor GM’s version of Ainge, which aint bad.
1.9. – (8) Rolando Blackman SG 6'6'' 190 22 B- B- C C+ C- B

RU-DY RU-DY RU-DY! Macklin looks like a decent prospect in the second round and Tripucka has good starting grades. The Raptors snare a couple of good looking prospects here. S.O.P. for Handsome Pete.

Pacers – B+
We are tiring of giving good grades, but we can’t help what appears to be quality drafting. Chambers could be a great PF, but we expect him to fail to meet expectations for the Pacers. Whether it’s JoPa allowing his assistants to dittle little boys, or JW allowing his players to rot on his roster, Nittany Lions have shown a lack of institutional control.
1.11. – (13) Tom Chambers PF 6'10'' 230 22 B+ C C- B- B- B

Bulls – B-
Bruns probably deserves a B, but \WeI don’t want to give another B or higher. Sorry Bruns. We like Brickowski a lot and think he’s got potential at positions other than center. Chances are Pete would pay a lot for Lapchick. Lap. Chick. Stripper. It’s a joke.

Al Wood is a decent pick here, and the Report are a bunch of suckers for Dutchmen so extra credit for Verhoeven. But we were under the impression that Druce was tanking. What gives?

Props to Duc for putting the Nets pick to good use with Albert King. With the right TC, he could turn into a player.

We’re a slave to the system at the Report and the system requires that we give full credit to a software superstar like Rob Barkley. I mean, what the fuck? In full disclosure, he would have earned a B+ for Tolbert alone.

Wilkens is a nice looking defensive big. We at the Report didn’t notice him until these grades were underway or we likely would have tried to trade up for him.

8585 is a shitty gym locker combination and an even worse draft class. Maybe McKenna can become PG eligible and become the heir apparent to Bledsoe.

We don’t like Lamp at all, but at 1.27 we can’t like everyone. Jackson could turn into a solid defensive backup for a Warriors team primed to make things happen in the West.

Fason gets an A based solely on the players name. Harvey is a badass first name, but Knuckles is icing on the cake. The only thing that could make a guy named Harvey Knuckles more badass is a sweet bowl cut.
2.1. – (7) Harvey Knuckles SG 6'6'' 187 23 B- C+ C B- C- C
Clippers – A
The Clippers haven’t turned over any gems here, but they have found great value in the middle of the second round. A potential starting PG and a defensive big are about the best a GM could hope to do with these picks.
2.14. – (8) Darnell Valentine PG 6'1'' 183 22 B C B- C+ D+ B

Rounding out the curve because we know he won’t even vote in the poll is Ian. You could have drafted Savage here and we’d still give you an F to balance out the grades. If we were ignoring the need for a curve and objectively grading your draft class, we’d give you an F- because this dude fucking sucks.
2.20. – (6) Mateen Jackson C 7'1'' 235 22 C D+ C B- C+ C

Bunch of C+’s. Ian once told us that the difference between C and C+ is about the same as C+ to A-. So C+s aint bad.

Mark Cuban must have been too busy counting all his money to realize Cassell was a decent prospect. Instead, he cut him instantly upon the autodraft. Oops.

We’d have given you a D if you’d have impregnated a female approximately 38 weeks ago. Better luck next time.
